Thamud denied the warning 23 And said: "Should we follow only one man among us? In that case we shall be in error and insane." 24 "Is it that the Reminder is sent to him [Prophet Salih (Saleh)] alone from among us? Nay, he is an insolent liar!" 25 They will know tomorrow who is the insolent liar. 26 Verily We are sending the she-camel as a test for them, so watch them thou and have patience. 27 Let them know that the water should be divided between them and the she-camel, each availing their turn.” 28 They called together their companions and agreed to slay the she-camel. 29 How was then My punishment of which they had been warned? 30 Then We sent against them one Shout and they became like the trampled twigs of the (sheep) penbuilder. 31 And assuredly We have made the Qur'an easy for admonition: is there then any one who would be admonished. 32 The people of Lut belied the warnings. 33 We loosed against them a squall of pebbles except the folk of Lot; We delivered them at the dawn -- 34 a blessing from Us; even so We recompense him who is thankful. 35 He had warned them of Our assault but they disputed the warnings. 36 And they even sought to snatch away his guests from him, but We blinded their eyes. (They heard:) "Now taste ye My Wrath and My Warning." 37 In the morning early there came upon them a settled chastisement: 38 'Now, taste My punishment and My warnings' 39 And certainly We have made the Quran easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will mind? 40
